Observing that the rule of measuring damages from the time of breach of contract is flexible, the Supreme Court modified compensation of Rs 3.65 crore awarded by NCDRC to a flat buyer in a redevelopment project to Rs 2.27 crore. A bench of Justice NV Ramana and Justice S Abdul Nazeer modified the order of NCDRC saying the claim granted by “NCDRC seems to surpass the actual-loss based damages and enter the domain of gain-based remedy”. “As per the settled law, the damages become due on the date when the breach of contract takes place, and are normally assessed by the reference to the time of breach. The aforesaid rule is based on the principle that the injured party is presumed to be in knowledge of the breach as soon as it is committed and at that time he can take appropriate measures of mitigation to control the loss flowing from the breach. The courts may deviate from the aforesaid rule and fix appropriate date in facts and circumstance of a case if aforesaid … [Read more...] about SC Asks Developer To Pay Rs. 2.27 Cr Compensation To Buyer, Modifies NCDRC Order Of Rs 3.65 Cr Damages [Read Judgment]
